Chris Yates, Casting At The Sun

Parker hearing the clink of tea things, came down the bank carrying his plastic bag. "It's a present from the Captain," he said (the Captain is his remarkable wife). As he unwrapped it, the sun broke from behind a haloed cloud, barbel began leaping in the river, voles skipped arm in arm along the bank, a swan sang an operatic aria, bells began to chime and all the grasshoppers in the field burst into spontaneous applause.
It was a plum cake.

I thought it was the motto of a North American Caving/Potholing club:

Local knowledge is worth a thousand casts.
Not sure who said it originally but it is used by me often and is a philosophy also.

"don't tell me you have 20 year's angling experience, when what you mean you have is 1 year's experience repeated 20 times"!
Don't know who said it but I read it somewhere and it appealed....
